The cramped office of legendary Birmingham (Mich.) Brother Rice head coach Al Fracassa is adorned with pictures of former players who went on to play college football. Class of 2012 running back Devin Church hopes to be on that wall one day, and he moved closer to that goal last week.

Fracassa has been the head coach at Brother Rice for more than 40 years, and in that time he has sent dozens of players to the Division 1 ranks. One of those was former NFL tight end and Boston College Eagle Pete Mitchell.
